Muslim against music

[Tearjerker]

Well basically it is like that Thor...or so it seems to me. The comercialism from the hajj alone and the $$$ of revenue snaped up by the Saudi Government..... bit like Disneyland for muslims in a way.

Exactly, Hajj sort of gives a common Muslims some sort of divine degree. Every Muslim is a Muslim, until they go to hajj, they become hajjis, simple put suddenly a simple guy becomes more than just a man of faith.

And believe me when I say it's exactly like what you said, a Disneyland for Muslims. And to governments that hold the key to such a holy ground it is just pure money maker. Saudi Arabia, Iran, even Iraq are benefiting from it. But Saudis have the greatest share as every kind of muslim is attracted to Mecca, while only Shia Muslims are going to Iran and Iraq. You just need to see the madness there. I talk about my own country now, which is Iran, and the city of Mashhad which lays there the shrine of Imam Reza (the 8th Shia Imam). It's a gold mine, you just need to see it, most people - desperate people with an urgent need of a miracle in their lives come there drop an offering of money, I've seen travel checks and other sort of fat-ly written checks inside where the supposed coffin of Imam Reza is, people used to come there and tie themselves to the fences of the shrine till they get what they came for. Actually don't know if it is still like that cause haven't been there in many years.

We have countless Imamzadeh [this one supposed to be the shrines of Shia Imams many offspring] of which by their standards of getting laid [They had many wives and Sigheh (Temporary marriages)] it is still too damn much and people go there and do the same practices.

This is too much off-topic and I apologize for it.
